Your Toddler May Be A Racist If
The National Children’s Bureau in the UK has issued a 366 page manual titled Young Children and Racial Justice. The said purpose of this book is to help pre-school and nursery workers to help detect, correct and report all incidents of racism. That’s right, report all incidents. Report to whom? Their local council. And what will this council do? We do not know. But it sounds ominous!
It appears to read like a Jeff Foxworthy “You might be a redneck if” routine.
If someone smells funny, and your toddler points it out he might be a racist.
If your child uses the phrase “those people,” he might be racist.
If your three year old says “yuk” when eating a certain food, he might be a racist.
I would like to thank the Telegraph and the UK for this mornings entertainment.
